Oklahoma U.S. Senator Tom Coburn released a new oversight report, “Wastebook 2012” . It highlights more than $18 billion in examples of some of, what he calls, the most egregious ways your taxpayer dollars were wasted in 2012. "The report highlights 100 of the year’s countless unnecessary, duplicative and low-priority projects spread throughout the federal government", Coburn said.
